A micron filter cartridge is a type of filter used to remove particles and contaminants from liquids or gases based on their micron rating, which refers to the size of particles the filter can capture. These cartridges are commonly used in water purification, food and beverage processing, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and industrial processes.

MICRON FILTER CARTRIDGE

10″ PP Sediment Water Filter Cartridge

Brand: China

CleanTech Engineering Limited

Key Features of Micron Filter Cartridges:

  • Micron Rating:

    • Ranges from 0.1 micron to 100+ microns.

    • A lower micron rating means finer filtration.

      • Example: A 1-micron filter removes particles as small as 1 micrometer, such as bacteria and fine sediment.

      • A 50-micron filter may only remove large particles like sand or rust.

  • Material Types:

    • Polypropylene (common for sediment filters)

    • Cellulose, glass fiber, activated carbon, etc.

    • Stainless steel mesh for high-temperature or corrosive applications.

  • Filter Types:

    • Depth Filters: Capture particles throughout the thickness of the filter.

    • Surface Filters: Capture particles on the outer surface.

    • Pleated Filters: Increase surface area for better flow and longer life.

  • End Connections:

    • DOE (Double Open End), SOE (Single Open End), threaded, or customized for housings.

  • Applications:

    • Drinking water systems

    • RO (Reverse Osmosis) pre-filtration

    • Chemical and pharmaceutical manufacturing

    • Food & beverage production

    • Oil & gas filtration

How to Choose the Right Micron Filter Cartridge:

  • Determine the required micron size based on the particles you need to remove.

  • Check compatibility with the fluid (chemical resistance).

  • Match the cartridge size and end type to your filter housing.

  • Consider flow rate and pressure drop requirements.

  • Decide between reusable or disposable cartridges.
